An onpropriation must be made at once for the

STATE PENlTENIIAhY.
The report of the warden of the state peniten-
tiary for the biennial term ending November 80.
1886, presents q full statement of the affairs of
this institution, which have been so successfully
managed and directed by the present warden
throughout his long term of service. Your atten-
ton is also therein directed to the reports of
prison physician and chaplain with appropriate
recognition of faithful service rendered by them,
and ia which l Join. The various recommends
tons of the warden as to the removal of wooden
buildings in the prison yard, providing increased
room for workshops in the erection of brick or
stone buildings for that purpose in place of those
removed, and other needed Improvements, have
the approval of the board of public lands and
buildings, and meet with my concurrence.
AS shown by report, the total number of pris-
oners received at the prison since its opening in
1863 is ], 146; total number discharged during that
time. S1S: leaving in prison at date of report, 3a8.
The various tables relating to nature of crime,
occupation. nativity. education, age. sex, and pre-
viouS habits, contain much that is of interest.
The contract leasing our convict labor was ey-
tended at the last session and viii expire October
I 1850 The policy of continuing the present
system is questioned by some, but my own
belief, which is based upon gathered
from the experience OF other states, favors lis
retention, giving as now the use OF labor at
proper hours, but the dlsclpnne ana controi to
remain with the warden. The experience OF
states where convict LABOR mas oeen managed
upon the state account system, mas Deen In the
main a failure, financially and otherwise.
Our convicts must have employment for their
own good. 1t is the duty OF the state to provide
for this want, and in SO doing, protection may. be
had, alike for public interests and our manufac- |
turing interests, by providing either for proper
mark of Identification as to articles manufactured
by convict labor, or more fully by limiting tue
class of articles manufactured. Under the pres
ent system our conVlctS are IN a measure sell
